Stardust (2007)

Like the star that falls to Earth near the beginning of the movie, Stardust is glittery and pretty and possesses its own pleasing-enough personality, but it won't set the world on fire.

It's puffed up in obvious ways but disarmingly puckish in others.

This luminous, magical movie will dazzle even the fantasy-film phobic.

Stardust lights up the screen with a splendid tale of heroism and romance. You don't have to be a fan of fantasies to enjoy its considerable whimsy.

Stardust [feels] episodic and clunky, constantly straining for the impression of overall coherent design that Gaiman renders invisible.

This star is not as much of a beauty as it could have been.

The oddball elements may surprise viewers expecting something a bit more ordinary in approach, but the surprise should be a pleasant one.

There was just enough connection between Claire Danes and Charlie Cox that happily ever after is exactly what I wanted.

Stardust is nothing short of pure magic.

On the surface, Stardust looks like a cheesy little fluff fantasy. In many ways it is. Yet at the same time, it's also the most fun I've had with a film since watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean.

Movie Views

Primo contemporâneo de A Princesa Prometida, o filme também traz referências óbvias a Macbeth e Rei Lear em sua agitada trama, revelando um senso de humor eficaz e com toques sombrios que o transformam em uma mais do que bem-vinda surpresa.

Extras on the disc include a 'making of' featurette, deleted scenes, outtakes, and the movie trailer.

• 1. Tristan: Did you really mean what you said in the caravan?
  2. Yvaine: What I...? But... You were a mouse! You were a mouse... you wanted cheese! You didn't... I asked you to give me a sign!
  3. Tristan: And risk you being too embarrassed to keep saying such lovely things?

• 1. Narrator: A philosopher once asked, 'Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?' Pointless, really... 'Do the stars gaze back?' Now *that's* a question.

• 1. Yvaine: I owe you thanks, boy. What use was a heart to me when it was broken. And you got rid of my sisters, now I can have it all for myself.

• 1. Yvaine: You know when I said I knew little about love? Well that wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it. I've seen centuries and centuries of it. And it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain and lies. Hate. Made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves. I mean, you can search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can also be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and, well, strangely easy to mistaken for loathing. And, what I'm trying to say, Tristan, is I think I love you! My heart, it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I's wish for nothing in exchange. No gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing that you love me, too. Just your heart in exchange for mine.
